      It’s the leaf on the left.

      For ages it was a brown color and back then it legit looked like a cornucopia.

    I suspect the Mandala Effect is what happens when timelines/realities collapse/fold into one another. Us humans are bad are perceiving when these things happen because we simply wrap it in an SEP field and go about our lives, but sometimes little leftover details catch our attention.

    the objects in mirror may be closer than they appear fucks with me. my family ran a junkyard, and as a child/teen, i was always hanging out within its borders and exploring old cars and trucks for treasure. that form of the phrase is burned in my memory. you’ll never convince me it wasn’t something that existed.

    i was taught to spell dilemma as dilemna too, but that may be explainable. it’s not like every old textbook from the 80s is on annasarchive.

      Well, that’s good because it did exist. Do they not put that in the side mirrors any more?

      It’s because, at a glance, the tan coloration in the one from 1978-2003 could easily be mistaken for a cornucopia.

        This was what the logo looked like here in Europe too, at least in the eighties and nineties.

        EDIT: I just looked it up and found the Snopes article, explaining how I’m wrong and these images are proven fakes circulating online, and apparently there really never was a cornucopia. My mind is truly and fully blown. What the fuck.

          Except that’s the logo that was on my underpants when I was a kid.

          Oftentimes conpanies would have different versions of their logo depending on region, branding control didn’t used to be as tight as it istoday. This explains most Mandela Effect phenomena.

        That’s literally the mandela effect. It’s collective false memory. All archives, including TV commercials do not have a cornucopia as the logo never had one. It’s the shaded brown leaves on versions of the logo that people misconstrued. Your brain can easily include a false detail or overwrite a visual memory with a reinforced false one.

          If you scroll down there is literally a fruit of the loom with the exact cornucopia i remembered. It looks like there were bootlegs running around in the time period I remember it. Case solved. Nelson Mandela is dead.

            Those are bootlegs though, with a logo design likely based on the collective misremembering. They certainly didn’t copy the real logo, as it objectively never had a cornucopia.

              I think those bootlegs were widely sold. That sign on that old trailer was definitely the one up at my local stores and was definitely on the branding of the products I used. Its weird to know my underwear were not authentic.
